The use of the term "magic" here is consistent with existing and
historical
usage in  other parts of the GWT compiler and dev mode.  You could
certainly
submit a patch to go through and systematically replace all
occurrences of magic
with something less mystical. :)

I don't think its funny, I think its snide.  I thought you were trying
to divulge yourself of this code.
